Jacob van Loon is a painter.

My name is Jacob van Loon. I am a 25 year-old visual Artist based in Chicago. I graduated from Northern Illinois University in 2011 with a BFA in Illustration. My freelance work is a hybrid of the formal background in Graphic Design and Fine Arts training attained prior to Northern. I am currently looking for a Design job which caters to that method. My paintings focus on an analytic synthesis of data, which started from studies on early national highways, and the Russian Avant Garde.

I get inspiration from a lot of places. Lately it’s been Andre Petterson, Nicola Samorì, El Lissitzky, Francis Bacon, Paul Harnden, Carol Christian Poell, Barry X Ball, Daniel Arsham, Ryoji Ikeda, Maurizio Cattelan, Sterling Hundley, Edward Kinsella, Tim Hecker, Library Tapes, a glass of cognac, proto punk, and small cute animals.

things are getting wrong please send chocolate..

about:

Chocolate Editions by Mary & Matt is a celebration of the candy bar as a perfect pop object. Launched in their home kitchen as gifts for friends and family, it quickly grew into a full line that draws its inspiration from an eclectic array of favorites — rugby shirts, works by Sol LeWitt and David Hockney, and Neapolitan ice cream have all been reimagined as deliciously artful candies. Mary & Matt use the highest quality ingredients and craft their chocolate bars in small, handmade batches. They always have their eyes and taste buds open for new and surprising inspirations.

and I just wanted to quote this from there site: They believe in modernism with a smile.

( well that statement and the look of the chocolate made me feel way better!)

and they even have great packaging!

1939 the year of the shoe!?

Recently I saw some pictures of this great shoe prototypes by Steven Arpad, some of them really look modern while some of them really look like the future, but i guess the greatest thing is they are from 1939.

Check out the website of the MET for more shoes of Steven Arpad.

(text from the MET website)

This objects comes from a group of over seventy-five shoe prototypes designed in Paris in 1939 by Steven Arpad. Aside from the lines of leather accessories and jewelry he produced under his own name in the 1940s, Arpad seems to have worked mostly anonymously. The prototypes are accompanied by an extensive archive of original sketches which has made it possible to identify uncredited shoe designs for Balenciaga and Delman as Arpad’s work. Containing some of the most creative, unique, and unusual examples of footwear design in the collection, the museum’s holdings appear to be the only documented body of the work of this extraordinary designer.
Sporty day shoes were an important element of fashion in the 1930s, and in this example Arpad makes a colorful and eye-catching interpretation of the category. Although no specific relationship between Arpad and the company is know, this design is very similar to shoes from the Preciosa line marketed by the French company Heyraud in the late 1930s.
